Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what progress they have made to bring together the work of the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman with that of the Local Government Ombudsman.
In December 2015 the Government confirmed its intention to bring forward draft legislation to create a Public Service Ombudsman, encompassing the existing jurisdictions of the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman and the Local Government Ombudsman. The intention remains to publish a draft Bill in this parliamentary session.
